Democrats shift tactics on Trump Cabinet picks after lessons learned from first term
Jaleel White is feeling kind of cool. “My wife cranked up this air conditioning,” he says from his hotel room in New York while on tour to promote his new memoir, “Growing Up Urkel.” But Steve Urkel, as any consumer of ’90s pop culture can tell you, was anything but cool. The character White played from 1989 to 1998 on the wholesome hit sitcom “Family Matters” defined the Black nerd for TV watchers: saddle shoes, suspenders, thick glasses, high, nasal voice. Sure, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” had Carlton (Alfonso Ribeiro), but he was more of an entitled, clueless preppy. Urkel was Poindexter personified. White, now 47, will forever be connected to the character he created in a series that he essentially picked up and put on his shoulders; Urkel didn’t arrive until midway through the first season but quickly became the main attraction. He’s not hiding from it; that would be pointless. “Growing Up Urkel” is not “I Am Not Spock,” Leonard Nimoy’s insistent memoir about what differentiated him from the logic-obsessed Vulcan he played on “Star Trek.” Instead it’s something rare: a reminiscence from a remarkably well-adjusted and good-humored former child star that still manages to tell some tales about what he calls “the shark-infested waters of show business.” His primary motive for writing the book, he says, was pretty simple: “I wanted to give my parents their flowers while they’re still here. All I see are these showbiz tragedy stories. My parents didn’t know what the heck they were doing, but the most important thing was they had good intentions for me. My family and I, we really had very little understanding of leverage. We were stuck in appreciation mode. And I think that’s good to some degree.” Born in Culver City and raised in a middle-class Pasadena family, White was taught to work hard and be grateful for what he had. He recalled that his mother made sure to keep him from getting a big head, asking people on the “Family Matters” set to keep constant tabs on him. Expensive cars and designer clothes weren’t an option; when he learned to drive he was pushing the family’s hand-me-down Acura. He was happy if he could stay outfitted in fly Nike gear (which became easier when pro sports teams got word that he was a basketball fanatic and sent him boxes of the latest stuff). “When I started on the show, I was a 12-year-old kid who wanted an audition and wanted to get the job so my parents would give me a Sega Genesis,” he said. Polite and chivalrous — his parents sent him to etiquette school so he could learn how to be a gentleman — he writes about his early dating experience with a mix of laughter and chagrin: “My mom had done such a miraculous job sheltering me from negative influences she had effectively made me an overconfident, generous-minded dunce for teen girls to roll over.” In short, he was a good kid with good parents, qualities that didn’t always come in handy when it was time for ABC to pay him commensurately with other TV stars. He writes that the series’ producers dissuaded him from pursuing ancillary Urkel opportunities lest he become “overexposed.” In one of the book’s most telling anecdotes, a 14-year-old White is grounded by his mother after an argument. When his parents inform the “Family Matters” producers that he’s sick and unable to come to work, a series of gift baskets arrives at the White family home, along with an offer to send a doctor. White writes that ABC assumed his family was pulling a ”sick-out,” a common ploy used by parents of child stars angling for more money. But when White returned to work the next day, his family made no demands. Turns out they were just disciplining their son. “That was probably my greatest moment of leverage that we never realized,” White writes. “All of those gifts were received by me and my parents so earnestly. My parents may have even felt badly that a family dispute had led to so many people being concerned about my health.” White has worked plenty in the years since “Family Matters.” He voiced Sonic the Hedgehog in a series of Sega games; more recently he has had roles in the TV series “The Afterparty” and alongside Adam Sandler in the underrated basketball movie “Hustle” (a shoot he fondly remembers for its pickup hoops games). He knows he’ll always be Urkel to fans of a certain age, but he’s happy when someone on the street recognizes him for something else, like his current gig hosting the CBS game show “Flip Side.” “I’m a game show host now for the Boomers who were calling me Urkel,” he says. And millennials, who have grown up Googling everything, often call him something else entirely. The name he grew up hearing. “They call me Jaleel,” he says.All-electric automaker Rivian Automotive received a “conditional commitment” for a $6.6 billion loan from the U.S. Department of Energy, the company said. If finalized, the loan would be used to aid in the construction of a $5 billion Rivian plant just outside Atlanta. Politicians from both sides of the aisle were quick to react to the announcement of additional funding going to what they’ve labeled a “failing company.” “Biden is forking over $6.6B to EV-maker Rivian to build a Georgia plant they’ve already halted,” said Vivek Ramaswamy, who will be leading President-Elect Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency, along with Elon Musk, CEO of X and Tesla Motors. “One ‘justification’ is the 7,500 jobs it creates, but that implies a cost of $880k/job which is insane. This smells more like a political shot across the bow at Elon Musk and Tesla.” With its first plant currently operating in Illinois, the California-based vehicle startup company officially closed on the 1,800-acre lot in Georgia in Nov. 2023. Acquired to be the location for a second “next-generation manufacturing facility” producing upwards of 400,000 vehicles a year, the company halted construction plans earlier this year after financial troubles. Over the course of the year, shares in Rivian have dropped about 50%, while the Michigan-based Center for Economic Accountability labeled the project the “Worst Economic Development Deal of the Year” for 2022. Georgia also promised over a billion dollars in incentives for the company, The Center Square previously reported. Rivian said the loan will accelerate the company’s “growth and leadership of electric vehicle design” as well as benefitting the electric vehicle industry throughout the United States. “This loan will help create thousands of new American jobs and further strengthen U.S. leadership in EV manufacturing and technology,” said Rivian founder and CEO RJ Scaringe in a statement. “This loan would enable Rivian to more aggressively scale our U.S. manufacturing footprint.” The funding will come from the Department of Energy’s Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Loan Program, which has also historically loaned both General Motors and Tesla money. Up Next — Indigenous involvement snarls Brazil’s illegal gold crackdown Jo Jorgensen, the 2020 Libertarian candidate for president, called out the loan. “Electric vehicle startup Rivian Automotive has snagged up to $6.6 billion in funding from the U.S. government to grow its production capability,” she said. “Related news-Rivian is ranked among the worst brands for reliability in 2024. Per usual, our federal government is leading the race to the bottom!” Earlier this month, the company’s quarter three financials signaled even more financial troubles for Rivian. In the third quarter, it had a negative gross profit of $392 million, producing only 13,157 vehicles and “delivering” only 10,018. That means the company had a loss-per-vehicle of nearly $40,000. “They should at least be required to get to positive gross margin with existing models before being given billions for future models,” Musk said of the loan announcement. While Rivian promises the Georgia factory “will add billions of dollars in positive economic impact for Georgia,” Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican, pushed back on that. “I can tell you right now Georgians do not support Rivian and are sick and tired of seeing tax dollars handed over to this failing company, federal and state,” Greene said. It was recently announced that Greene will be leading a congressional subcommittee dedicated to working with DOGE and rooting out “every penny of waste and abuse.” Greene said that the Rivian loan is “the exact type of insanity that we have to stop.”
Sask. HIV rates are worst in Canada, recents stats showIn our latest episode , we sit down with Teague Egan , CEO of EnergyX , about the future of lithium and its role in powering the global energy transition. Join us as we discover how EnergyX is reshaping sustainable energy solutions and revolutionizing the electric vehicle industry with its innovative direct lithium extraction technology. Also, check out our educational platform, IE Academy . Why is lithium so important? “Lithium’s physical properties make it one of the best materials for storing energy,” Teague explained to IE. As the third element on the periodic table, lithium is both lightweight and highly energy-dense. He explained that this combination makes it ideal for applications where portability is crucial. Especially for applications like EVs and smartphones. Egan elaborated on lithium’s unique role in batteries, highlighting its importance for mobility applications. “If you just have a battery sitting on the ground, weight doesn’t matter. But energy density is critical if you have to move it in a car or a plane,” he said. This energy density is why lithium has become the backbone of modern rechargeable batteries. Before lithium-ion batteries rose to prominence, lithium had limited applications. “The total global market for lithium was in the low hundreds of thousands of tons,” Egan explained. “It was mostly used in pharmaceuticals, glass, and greases.” However, lithium became indispensable as EVs gained traction and climate change initiatives spurred decarbonization. “Lithium quickly became essential with electric vehicles and the need to store energy without emitting carbon,” he added. What is EnergyX’s direct lithium extraction? Traditional lithium extraction processes like evaporation ponds are slow, inefficient, and environmentally damaging. “The old process takes 18 months and only recovers 30–40% of the lithium,” Egan pointed out. One major problem with this technique, is that it requires vast amounts of land and water, thereby making them unsustainable as demand surges. EnergyX developed Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology to address these challenges, dramatically improving efficiency and sustainability. “With DLE, instead of 18 months, we can process lithium in one to two days,” Egan explained. The method also boasts recovery rates of over 90% while using only 1/100th of the land footprint compared to traditional evaporation ponds. Egan also emphasized the environmental benefits of this approach. “In a DLE scenario, you extract the lithium and re-inject the water back into the subsurface, preserving the water table and minimizing disruption to local ecosystems.,” he told us. This innovation is crucial for ensuring lithium production meets rising global demand without causing irreversible ecological damage. Lithium is here for the long run Despite ongoing research into alternative battery materials, Egan is confident in lithium’s long-term dominance. “There’s a 99.99% probability that lithium remains the material of choice for rechargeable batteries,” he said. He credited lithium’s superior physical properties and decades of development for its entrenched position in the energy industry. He also pointed out that even emerging technologies like solid-state batteries are lithium-based. “Solid-state batteries eliminate the liquid electrolyte, increasing energy density and safety,” he explained. “But they still rely on lithium for the anode and cathode materials,” he added. Egan argued that even if a superior technology were invented today, lithium’s head start would make it hard to displace. “The lithium-ion battery was invented in 1982 by Dr. John Goodenough. Forty-two years later, it’s just picking up steam. Even if something better were invented, commercializing would take decades,” Egan said. Lithium: the driving force behind EVs The rapid adoption of EVs has been a key driver of lithium demand. Egan highlighted how countries like Norway and China are leading the charge. “In Norway, over 95% of new cars are electric. In China, over 50% of new vehicles are EVs,” he said. This momentum signals a global shift toward electrification, with lithium at the core. Egan underscored the environmental benefits of EVs compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. “The average gasoline car emits four metric tons of CO2 annually,” he noted. “Even if you charge your EV with power from fossil fuels, it emits significantly less CO2. And if you use renewable energy, the emissions are zero,” he added. The future of lithium batteries Beyond EVs, lithium batteries are poised to revolutionize other sectors, including grid-scale energy storage and aviation. Egan discussed their potential in powering electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. “We’re starting to see companies like Lilium and Jetson working on air taxis,” he said. “While battery energy density isn’t yet on par with gasoline, advances like solid-state batteries could make these applications viable,” he added. Egan also highlighted the growing interest in humanoid robots as a future application. “Elon Musk talks about a billion humanoids in the next decade. These robots would use battery packs similar to EVs but on a smaller scale. If there are a billion of them, that’s a massive market for batteries,” Egan explained. Recycling will be important too As the demand for lithium grows, recycling old batteries will become increasingly critical. “Recycling is essential to ensure the supply chain remains sustainable,” Egan said. He outlined two key considerations: “First, can we recover raw materials competitively? And second, is the recycling process environmentally friendly?” he added. Recycling could mitigate concerns about resource depletion. “Theoretically, lithium deposits in brine and volcanic rock formations could be replenishing,” Egan noted. “But recycling ensures we maximize the material we already have,” he added. The road ahead is not easy Egan acknowledged that the lithium industry faces geopolitical supply chain constraints and environmental concerns. However, he remains optimistic about the future. “The ESG mindset is critical,” he emphasized. “We need to remember why we’re doing this: to transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy economy,” he added. He also highlighted the role of nuclear energy in complementing lithium-based storage systems. “Nuclear is the holy grail. It’s carbon-free and could provide the power to charge batteries globally,” Egan explained. Lithium: fueling the future “Everything is moving toward electric, and all those applications need batteries,” he said. Lithium is at the heart of the clean energy revolution, from EVs to grid storage, humanoid robots to eVTOLs. His optimism is grounded in EnergyX’s mission to innovate and scale sustainable lithium production. “We unequivocally know lithium is better. We aim to source it as sustainably as possible and help drive the energy transition forward,” he explained. Teague Egan’s insights underscore lithium’s critical role in enabling a cleaner, more sustainable future. By revolutionizing its production and exploring new applications, EnergyX is helping secure the foundation for a global energy transition that prioritizes innovation and environmental stewardship.

Next year could be the year for reforming the federal tax system, and while we’re optimistic, we also recognize the high stakes for our country’s future. President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to extend his signature Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a 2017 law that revised the tax code and provided some sweet breaks to favored constituents. Many of those provisions are set to expire at the end of 2025 and, given the GOP’s control of Congress and the White House, the pressure will be on to act fast. Failure to extend the measures would mean increases for most taxpayers in 2026, and they would have no one to blame but Trump & Co. During his campaign, the president-elect teased additional giveaways, vowing to eliminate taxes on tips, which doesn’t make much sense, as well as Social Security income. Apparently, all kinds of ideas are on the table, which makes the complex job of rewriting tax law even more challenging. Throughout the 2000s, the U.S. has lived far beyond its means, as both major parties embraced deficit spending. Extending the Trump tax cuts will jack up the deficit by something like $5 trillion through fiscal 2035. Sweetening the pot with additional goodies would add still more to the tab. We send our best wishes to the much-ballyhooed Department of Government Efficiency, to be run by tech bosses Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. We’re all for eliminating waste, fraud and abuse. But given governmental instincts for self-preservation, experience teaches us to keep expectations modest. That leaves the national debt at $36 trillion and counting, threatening to increase inflation, raise interest rates, weaken the dollar and reduce the government’s capacity to make strategic investments. It’s disappointing to see the GOP , which always claimed to be the party of fiscal discipline when Democrats were in power, freeze out its deficit hawks when it controls the nation’s wallet. Trump has nominated some smart people for his economic team, including Scott Bessent for Treasury secretary, and we’re hopeful that grown-up thinking will prevail. Other Trump nominees could work against that, however. Consider Billy Long, a former GOP congressman from Missouri, whom Trump has proposed to head the Internal Revenue Service. The colorful Long is a professional auctioneer who went into business peddling a fraud-plagued tax credit after leaving public office. During his tenure, he joined other opportunists in scoring cheap political points by demonizing the IRS and pushing attention-getting tax ideas, evidently for effect . Exhibit A is Long’s effort to scrap the federal tax code, and the IRS along with it, while replacing the lost revenue with a regressive national sales tax. That would raise the cost of goods and services by anywhere from 30 to 44 cents for every dollar spent. It doesn’t take a political genius to recognize that raising the cost of a $1 item to as much as $1.44 would never work. Yet Long pushed for it, and now this unserious nominee is in line to run one of the most serious government agencies. Rather than promising to tear down the IRS for the sake of sound bites, the GOP needs to get real about change. This agency that everyone loves to hate will be crucial to carrying out its tax plan in 2025 and beyond. And, as Bessent and some of the better Trump nominees surely recognize, the GOP has a precious opportunity to bring about reform, if its more credible leaders are willing to put in the work instead of voicing fantasies about eliminating essential government services. The complexity of the federal tax code imposes an estimated $546 billion in annual costs on the U.S. economy, including billions of hours in lost productivity and out-of-pocket compliance costs, according to the center-right Tax Foundation. ... If the incoming Trump administration wants its tax-change plans to be carried out effectively, it should retire its anti-IRS rhetoric and give the agency the tools it needs to get the job done. After all, it’s a matter of following the law. Be the first to know Get local news delivered to your inbox!NEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers formally asked a judge Monday to throw out his hush money criminal conviction , arguing that continuing the case would present unconstitutional “disruptions to the institution of the Presidency.“ In a filing made public Tuesday, Trump’s lawyers told Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan that anything short of immediate dismissal would undermine the transition of power, as well as the “overwhelming national mandate" granted to Trump by voters last month. They also cited President Joe Biden’s recent pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun charges . “President Biden asserted that his son was ‘selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,’ and ‘treated differently,’" Trump’s legal team wrote. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, they claimed, had engaged in the type of political theater "that President Biden condemned.” Prosecutors will have until Dec. 9 to respond. They have said they will fight any efforts to dismiss the case but have indicated a willingness to delay the sentencing until after Trump’s second term ends in 2029. In their filing Monday, Trump's attorneys dismissed the idea of holding off sentencing until Trump is out of office as a “ridiculous suggestion.” Following Trump’s election victory last month, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed his sentencing, previously scheduled for late November, to allow the defense and prosecution to weigh in on the future of the case. He also delayed a decision on Trump’s prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. Trump has been fighting for months to reverse his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier. He says they did not and denies any wrongdoing. The defense filing was signed by Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, who represented Trump during the trial and have since been selected by the president-elect to fill senior roles at the Justice Department. Taking a swipe at Bragg and New York City, as Trump often did throughout the trial, the filing argues that dismissal would also benefit the public by giving him and “the numerous prosecutors assigned to this case a renewed opportunity to put an end to deteriorating conditions in the City and to protect its residents from violent crime.” Clearing Trump, the lawyers added, would also allow him to “to devote all of his energy to protecting the Nation.” Merchan hasn’t yet set a timetable for a decision. He could decide to uphold the verdict and proceed to sentencing, delay the case until Trump leaves office, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court or choose some other option. An outright dismissal of the New York case would further lift a legal cloud that at one point carried the prospect of derailing Trump’s political future. Last week, special counsel Jack Smith told courts that he was withdrawing both federal cases against Trump — one charging him with hoarding classified documents at his Florida estate, the other with scheming to overturn the 2020 presidential election he lost — citing longstanding Justice Department policy that shields a president from indictment while in office. The hush money case was the only one of Trump’s four criminal indictments to go to trial, resulting in a historic verdict that made him the first former president to be convicted of a crime. Prosecutors had cast the payout as part of a Trump-driven effort to keep voters from hearing salacious stories about him. Trump’s then-lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels. Trump later reimbursed him, and Trump’s company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses — concealing what they really were, prosecutors alleged. Trump has said the payments to Cohen were properly categorized as legal expenses for legal work. A month after the verdict, the Supreme Court ruled that ex-presidents can’t be prosecuted for official acts — things they did in the course of running the country — and that prosecutors can’t cite those actions to bolster a case centered on purely personal, unofficial conduct. Trump’s lawyers cited the ruling to argue that the hush money jury got some improper evidence, such as Trump’s presidential financial disclosure form, testimony from some White House aides and social media posts made during his first term. Prosecutors disagreed and said the evidence in question was only “a sliver” of their case. If the verdict stands and the case proceeds to sentencing, Trump’s punishments would range from a fine to probation to up to four years in prison — but it’s unlikely he’d spend any time behind bars for a first-time conviction involving charges in the lowest tier of felonies. Because it is a state case, Trump would not be able to pardon himself once he returns to office.Ryan Smith Named as Chief Digital and Information Officer at Intermountain Health
